Health Professionals Project

We are aware that one of the key limitations of Voices Scotland is our primary focus on patients and carers. Although we have worked to influence professionals (through one to one meetings, involving them in training days, attendance at events and presenting at conferences) barriers to them embracing effective involvement remain.

We are keen to utilise our expertise in this initiative to support professionals, from frontline to senior management, in local Boards, in meeting the SHC Participation Standards 2009 and ultimately promoting a mutual NHS.

The key aims of this project are:

• To develop resources to support frontline NHS health professionals staff to embed patient and carer involvement in providing person–centred care.
• To develop resources to support NHS staff to embed patient and carer involvement in service development and redesign.
